Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and set them aside. Place the mushroom caps, open side up, on a baking sheet.
- Finely chop the mushroom stems and set them aside.
- In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushroom stems and prawns to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a mixing bowl.
- To the bowl, add breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Generously spoon the prawn mixture into the mushroom caps, packing them slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy these delectable bites!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the prawns with crab meat or a mix of seafood for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a light lemon aioli or a garlic herb dip for added richness.
